@royal @CharismaticBatman I don't know what MacDonald would be trying to say if he meant the place Hell when he said "HELL" in that quote. Since the unsaved "go away into eternal punishment" (Matthew 25:46) I doubt it is to "burn the evil out of you".

@royal @CharismaticBatman To most of that: word. Not to be argumentative, but this is a big deal theologically; where do you go if you die rejecting Jesus? Matthew 25:41 says that you go "into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels". (Matthew 25:31-46 is a great passage by the way — a dark topic, but a critical one.)

@CharismaticBatman @royal Well to be clear it is the teaching of Christianity that those who reject Jesus go to the place Hell (or maybe technically the "Lake of Fire" I guess, I don't know the exact theology), and a place of no exit.
That's what's throwing me off with this MacDonald quote here.
I wonder what the context was.

@royal Interesting, I'm only seeing this reply, my question, and your original post....

@royal What does the "burn the evil out of you" part mean?

@printer @lukechairwalker No as a Christian I can verify that Christianity takes biblical events literally, that's one of the main things that makes it Christianity

I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but now is really not the time to be assholes to other people. And no, your hot take on who screwed up or what went wrong is probably not helping in any way.

@jerry I was reading through a Mastodon "Explore" page and am surprised to find someone saying to be nice to others despite an election result they may have not liked 😁 nice

I feel like every time I get this suddenly upset at a good or service, it ends up being an overreaction

Thanks to @arraybolt3 I was able to fix the issue. Honestly I overreacted when the website I was using was able to change my settings and bookmarks, it shouldn't be able to do that without a good prompt from the browser and outside of the website view....
Also Firefox Sync didn't *replace* my bookmarks anyway, but *merged*.

That said, my settings are still messed up, but thankfully my carefully created site cookie whitelist wasn't deleted from. So there's that!

Does anyone know how I can get my bookmarks and settings back? I didn't tell it to sync, I just signed in to a Mozilla website and Firefox just decided to overwrite everything 😡😡

Ugh, I signed in to a Mozilla website and it just deleted all my bookmarks and settings from my browser! I hate this so much.

"Look at any specific point and you should clearly see the extent of your fovea (the stars only seem to be rotating in a small circle at the center of your vision). Move your head back and forth to see it grow/shrink. Works better in full screen mode."
